Logan Aces St. Louis Disc Golf Open

Professional and amateur disc golf players from across the United States came to Logan University to compete in the St. Louis Disc Golf Open September 17-19. With more than 440 participants, this A-tier tournament was the largest disc golf competition Missouri has ever hosted.

Logan’s 18-hole, 2-mile course featuring elevation changes and several water features challenged even the professional and highest ranked amateur players. It is currently one of the top-rated courses in the St. Louis metropolitan area, ranking 4.2 out of 5 stars on UDisc, an app used by hundreds of thousands of disc golfers.

Tournament Director Jeff Irwin, president of the St. Louis Disc Golf Club and Logan’s volunteer disc golf course captain and advisor, was instrumental in making the event a success. Pat Mehal, a trimester 4 Doctor of Chiropractic student and club captain of Logan’s Disc Golf Club, competed in the tournament as a Logan sponsored student-athlete.

“Being around such developed players in the tournament pushed the limits of my game to new heights,” Pat said. “I loved the camaraderie of the competitors and the atmosphere of the event. I cannot wait to represent Logan next year in the Open.”

Free to play, Logan’s disc golf course is open to students, staff and the community from dawn to dusk.
